Northern Ireland manager Michael O'Neill has hit out at the FAI for targeting players from a nationalist background to switch allegiances to the Republic of Ireland.

The Republic currently have key players like James McClean and Shane Duffy - who were both born in the north.

And while O'Neill accepts that McClean was in his early twenties when declaring for the Republic, he wants a sit-down with his Republic counterpart Martin O'Neill to stop the FAI approaching young players from the north declaring for the south.
